Bridget Jones

I have always been a K9 lover. It never fails to amaze me how ordinary people trade in dogs for these hissing, stubborn, self-centered felines we call cats. Dogs embody characteristics that we wish all humans could possess: unconditional love, joy, unabashed love of life, and never being one to rush to judgment. Dogs have a way of finding the people who need them, filling an emptiness we don 't even know we have. Ryder is my good boy. Ryder is an Australian Shepherd, who has coloring the same…

Huff her husband holds rachel 's hands as my niece and nephew both of her of 5 years had huge grins upon their small faces. ¨My family, i 'm so glad we could be together on this joyous holiday-¨ she continues with a tear. ¨ i would like to…

It all started one morning I was getting up and going in the kitchen to get coffee. I heard a silent groan and I got scared. I went and checked what it was and I saw a man who looked like he got burnt. So I slowly went back in my room and woke up my husband Junior. When I woke him up he was confused on why I was so scared. That’s when he sat up and asked me what happened. I froze in a dead because I was too scared. Then I started stuttering because I was trying to explain it. “I I I saw a guy…

August 4, 1892 the two bodies of Andrew and Abby Borden were found slain with what appeared to be an axe in their Massachusetts home located in the town of Fall River. The town was a buzz with the thought of who could possibly commit such heinous crime? Speculation focused on the youngest daughter of the two Borden girls, Elizabeth (Lizzie) Andrew Borden a Sunday school teacher and the head of the local hospital’s Fruit and Flower Mission. A seemingly unfit candidate for the axe-wielding…

“wrecking ball”. But I can’t wait to take your ass to, “red lobster”. I had captain D’s tonight. There’s no seafood in Georgia and 1 captain d’s. Plus, I had to plan my routes accordingly to Marta. The only chick flick that cracks me up every time is Bridget Jones Diary.…

It was tailor made for political rallies and it rose Jim Jones to power. During the 70’s he took a different turn, he began taking drugs and became more paranoid. His paranoia caused him to create paranoia in his followers, he made them believe that they were “just about to be destroyed” lucky for Jones a fire that burned down a temple helped validate his proposed statement, everyone is against them. This is when the beginning of…

When I was younger, I went a Christian school for eight years. I walked around in my own protective barrier made of bubblegum. Everything was sprinkled with sugar-powder. It was difficult to see reality in the midst of the dense white goodness. The curriculum was twisted all around like taffy. History books were glazed over with a caramel. Every history lesson incorporated God into it, and I was constantly reminded of the goodness in people. I was told that Native Americans were recompensated…

In the post match interview, Romo said that he felt fine and Dallas Cowboys Owner, Jerry Jones, reaffirmed that statement. Later on after a MRI was taken, a break in his vertebra was discovered. This injury put him out for an estimated time of 8-10 weeks. The only difference about this injury is that the Cowboys had rookie Dak Prescott, as…

On December 16th, we arrived at Arden Courts at 12:35pm. Upon arrival we met Diane and Sharon. We initially decorated ornaments for the windows until 1pm. Shortly after, we went to get the residents from their respective houses and then did trivia. Resident M and Resident E answered most of the questions. After we did trivia, we had a dance party. I danced with Resident J, U and E. Resident J was very mobile and danced to every song; however she could not speak English. Resident U was extremely…

My decision to read Alice Echol’s “Scars of Sweet Paradise: The Life and Times of Janis Joplin” was sparked by my interest in the 27 Club. The 27 Club refers to a number of popular musicians who died at the age of 27, often as a result of drug or alcohol abuse. Janis Joplin is the first of three members of the 27 Club that I am going to write my life studies on. Janis Lyn Joplin was an American singer-songwriter. She rose to fame in the late 60’s as the lead singer of the psychedelic rock band…
